ETX "Magic Cube"

It serves several purposes: storage and transportation
as well as providing a nice base for field-observation.

The closed cube holds my ETX-90, two cases of eyepieces
and other accessories and my charts. For transportation it
wheels on four casters.

In field use, the front part breaks away and serves as a chair
(which has 4 legs, not visible in the pictures). The ETX stands
on top of the cube, which can be leveled with 3 screws in the
base plate. An important part is the cut-out, removeable plate
which can be seen in the second picture. It provides the needed
stability for observation.

As the third picture shows, the cube has an integrated accessory tray
and an illuminated chart table.

Due to interest of other ETX users to copy the concept
of the magic cube, I made up a more detailed description.
It contains 20 additional pictures and the more important
construction details. The 350k Microsoft Word 7 File is
